1 ¶ Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest; for in that which thou dost judge another, thou dost condemn thyself; for thou that judgest others doest the same things.

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one who judgest, for in that in which thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

2 F or we are sure that the judgment of God is according to the truth against those who do such things.

But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who do such things.

3 A nd dost thou think this, O man, that judgest those who do such things and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest those that do such things, and practisest them, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

4 O r dost thou despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, ignoring that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?

or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?

5 B ut after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasures up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath, in day of wrath and revelation of righteous judgment of God,

6 w ho will render to everyone according to his deeds:

who shall render to each according to his works:

7 t o those who persevered in well doing, glory and honour and incorruption, to those who seek eternal life;

to them who, in patient continuance of good works, seek for glory and honour and incorruptibility, life eternal.

8 b ut unto those that are contentious and do not obey the truth, but are persuaded by unrighteousness, indignation and wrath.

But to those that are contentious, and are disobedient to the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation,

9 T ribulation and anguish shall be upon every human soul that does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek;

tribulation and distress, on every soul of man that works evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

10 b ut glory, honour, and peace to everyone that works good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

but glory and honour and peace to every one that works good, both to Jew first and to Greek:

11 F or there is no respect of persons with God.

for there is no acceptance of persons with God.

12 F or as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law

For as many as have sinned without law shall perish also without law; and as many as have sinned under law shall be judged by law,

13 ( for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified;

(for not the hearers of the law just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

14 f or when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature that which is of the law, these, not having the law, are a law unto themselves;

For when nations, which have no law, practise by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves;

15 w hich show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, accusing and also excusing their reasonings one with another)

who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing themselves between themselves;)

16 i n the day when God shall judge that which men have covered up, according to my gospel by Jesus, the Christ.

in day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my glad tidings, by Jesus Christ.

17 ¶ Behold, thou doth call thyself a Jew and art supported by the law and doth glory in God

But if thou art named a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast in God,

18 a nd dost know his will and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law,

and knowest the will, and discerningly approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

19 a nd art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness,

and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of the blind, a light of those who in darkness,

20 a n instructor of the ignorant, a teacher of children, who hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law:

21 T hou, therefore, who teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

thou then that teachest another, dost thou not teach thyself? thou that preachest not to steal, dost thou steal?

22 T hou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? Thou that dost abhor idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

thou that sayest not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

23 T hou that makest thy boast of the law, with rebellion to the law doth thou dishonour God?

thou who boastest in law, dost thou by transgression of the law dishonour God?

24 F or the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

For the name of God is blasphemed on your account among the nations, according as it is written.

25 F or circumcision verily profits if thou keep the law, but if thou art a rebel to the law, thy circumcision is made into a foreskin.

For circumcision indeed profits if thou keep law; but if thou be a law-transgressor, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.

26 T herefore if the uncircumcised keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his foreskin be counted for circumcision?

If therefore the uncircumcision keep the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision,

27 A nd that which is by nature foreskin, but keeps the law perfectly, shall judge thee who with the letter and with the circumcision art rebellious to the law.

and uncircumcision by nature, fulfilling the law, judge thee, who, with letter and circumcision, a law-transgressor?

28 F or he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is circumcision that which is done outwardly in the flesh;

For he is not a Jew who one outwardly, neither that circumcision which is outward in flesh;

29 b ut he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God.

but he a Jew inwardly; and circumcision, of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise not of men, but of God.
